To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN WORTH GAME" BELL, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, commercial traveler, have invented a certain new and Improved Head-Rest, of which the following is a specification.

The objectof the invention is to design suitable means for supporting a head-rest in posiconsists, essentially, in providing shoulder, arm, and body straps in connection with the head-rest, substantially in the manner hereinafter explained.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my improved head-rest in use. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail of the head-rest and straps for holding the headrest in position.

A is the headrest, made any suitable shape. B is an upright attached to the head-rest, and shaped to follow the contour of the neck and back of the wearer.

C are shoulder-straps, one end of each strap being connected to the head-rest A and the other end to the upright B. Each of these straps is provided with a suitable buckle, D, by which the length of the said straps may be adjusted for the purpose of fitting the party about to use the head-rest.
